Chapter 718: Mage Academy (Part II)
The Mage Academy, as the name suggests, is 'an academy established to train mages', but that's not the point – the point is that 'anyone can enroll'!
Just like the basic school, you only need to pay a small fee to enter the academy, and the teaching time is 'five years', and whether or not you can become a mage after five years depends on your talent and hard work, but there is no doubt that this gives people a chance to rise.
Unlike traditional mage education, the academy is not a 'mentor-apprentice' system, just like a basic school, where students sit in one classroom and one teacher teaches in one place.
This may not be very fair to many students, but there is no way, there are not enough teachers.
If a person who is literate and can count in a basic school can become a teacher, then a mage in the mage academy must have a mage with more than four rings to become a teacher.
This 'Mage Academy' reminds many people who know the secrets of the Arcane Empire that the Arcane Empire has carried out similar teachings, which is why the Arcane Empire has been able to produce so many excellent mages.
Because the base is very large, the probability of talent is also very high, which is the so-called 'casting a wide net and catching more fish'.
Once the number of mages increases, the speed of magic development is likely to increase.
But there is only one thing that distinguishes the mage academy in Wende City from the 'arcane academy' of the arcane empire - the arcane academy rarely accepts civilian students, but unlike the mage academy in Wende City, the head maid seems to be really crazy, she tramples the dignity of 'magic' under her feet, and even those 'mudbloods' who are despised by nobles and mages, that is, commoners, can also enroll.
The fact that the Arcane Academy has a high tuition fee at the time of admission has already stopped many people, and the students who are able to enter the academy are either rich or expensive.
But the Mage Academy is the opposite, not only does it not need to pay high tuition, but also allows civilians to enroll, which is simply an insult to the art of 'magic'!
The mages of the Ship of the Sea were able to reluctantly accept that after years of living in the Duchy of Sorrowful Winds, their perception of 'magic' had unconsciously changed, and they no longer thought that 'magic is an art'—or rather, that 'magic is still an art, but it is also a tool', and that there was no conflict between the two.
They need to do a lot of hard work to accumulate points so that they can learn more and deeper knowledge.
However, the maid elder also told them after posting the news that if they could train more mages, then they could reduce a lot of burdens.
Although students do not have to pay high tuition fees when they enter the mage college, they need to help their teachers with some things, which is also part of their studies and a condition for reducing tuition fees.
For example, in terms of calculations, the tutor can split the calculation into several parts of the task and issue it to the students to do the calculation, while the tutor himself only needs to verify it.
If the task is completed within the allotted time, the student can earn credit and the tutor can also make it a little easier.
In this way, the mage who becomes a mentor can carry out several tasks at the same time, and only need to complete the more difficult ones by himself, and the rest can be handed over to the students to complete.
However, if you want to become a 'mentor', there is another premise, that is, to ensure the safety of students in school, and not to treat apprentices as 'experiments' like traditional mage education.
This is not a harsh condition, and not all mages are so evil and savage, so the mages of [Star Boat] are eager for the position of 'mentor'.
But even so, the number of teachers is still insufficient.
Because only mages above the fourth ring can become professional teachers, but let alone five-ring mages, even four-ring mages can complete some difficult tasks to earn points.
Therefore, the number of teachers in the Mage Academy is not enough, but there are many teaching assistants, after all, there are still quite a lot of mages who can meet the conditions of the 'Three Rings Mage'.
Many wild mages have supplemented their basic knowledge after entering the [Star Sea Boat], and they have also delved into the knowledge of their respective factions, so it is not an incredible thing to advance.
Once this news is released, there will be many people who want to send their children or simply themselves to study in the mage academy, and I am afraid that there will be many people who are still wavering and immediately decide to move their families to this country.
It is foreseeable that there may be many nobles and even the state using letterhead to express their 'condemnation', but these things are not ignored by the Sad Wind Principality.
The only thing that is more troublesome is the group of 'mages', and the establishment of the mage academy touches their fundamental interests.
Perhaps mages have a lower EQ, but unlike EQ, their IQ is generally much higher than that of ordinary people, and although the most important thing for mages is 'knowledge', they are not able to comprehend advanced knowledge without enough wisdom.
Geniuses are able to understand and master something in less time than ordinary people, and 'mage' happens to be another name for 'genius'.
The mages are not low in IQ, and they all know that if this mage academy does appear, then their position will be challenged—even if it may be ten years from now!
The reason why the academy of the Arcane Empire has not been hindered too much is that they have not touched the interests of the 'mage' and the 'noble', while the mage academy of Wende City has touched both.
Although everything the head maid has done since the rise of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind has been challenging the bottom line in people's hearts, no one expected that she would play so big this time.
In contrast to Slo, Mendes was once the territory of the Arcane Empire, where the ancestors of the people were ravaged by 'Arcane' or 'magic' and enslaved by Arcanists, but at the same time, they also felt the convenience and power of magic.
Even the most averse 'magical' Arcane Empire can't get rid of magic, let alone the people of the Mendez Continent?
They hated magic and enjoyed its conveniences, and even after the war, magicians were ostracized by the nobility and the people, rather than being burned at the stake by the radicals.
More than eight hundred years later, magic has long since been revived on this continent, and outside of the kingdom of Korot, orthodox mages and nobles are 'almost' noble.
The existence of the Mage Academy challenges the haughtiness of the mages, and if many people from the mud blood can also use magic in the future, how can they maintain their 'nobility'?
It's a taint on the art of 'magic', and they won't allow that to happen!
Similar news continued to spread from the Fortune Church to Winder City, and even the Goddess of Fortune was a little worried.
She was not worried about these things, but about the interests of the gods that the maid would be touched by doing so.
Many mages are only devout at best, and more are shallow believers and non-believers, and once the mage academy admits many students, it means that many people will be exposed to the consciousness education of 'mages'.
And these mages are not a matter of two batches, that academy will continue to produce mages, which means that there will be many people who were once believers, or may be believers, will become 'shallow believers' and 'non-believers'.
This touches on the interests of the gods, and it may be difficult for many gods to react immediately, but mages are different, mages have a high IQ, and they know that it is difficult to stop this from happening on their own.
But what if you borrow someone else's power?
The goddess of wealth herself is not too worried, because now she no longer needs to care about the issue of faith, since the faith network has spread across the continent, all the business activities carried out in her church are to provide her with faith, and because this practice is very close to the priesthood, she can gain a lot of faith power from it.
However, the other gods are different......
If it were them, they would have done it soon once they knew about it! (https:)
